Maury County Workforce Summit

Description

The 2019 Maury County Workforce Summit will connect Spring Hill HS GMUAW/Randstad Workforce Summit students with industry professionals for a discussion around the changing needs of workforce development in the 21st century and the need to be innovative and nimble as the demands of employment changes and workers look for companies they can growth with. 

This Workforce Summit will be putting high school seniors, at center stage, in order to help our counties’ industry professionals understand and hear from the future workers of the 21^st century what they are looking for in a future employer.  We are seeking to (1) help employers adjust their hiring and cultural practices to acquire and retain highly effective individuals that will give years to their employers, rather than months; (2.) help young people understand that there are industries that want to change and that they can find a long-time employment partner that values them and what they can bring to the workplace.
